Congrats to my dear friend and fellow @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social member @robertgarcia.bsky.social on his election as Ranking Member of @oversightdemocrats.house.gov! I know Robert will do an incredible job holding the Trump Admin accountable while fighting for a better future for all Americans 💪

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 23(source)

SCOTUS just gave the Trump Administration the green light to deport immigrants to countries where they have no ties. This inhumane ruling puts lives at risk and runs counter to due process rights—and our values as Americans. We need a just immigration system, not one driven by fear and cruelty.

My statement on the U.S. military operation in Iran:

The Trump Admin’s rollback of emergency abortion policies puts pregnant women’s lives at risk by stripping ERs of clear rules to provide life-saving care. Make no mistake: this will endanger lives. That’s why @housedemocrats.bsky.social will fight this reckless overturn.

I’ve joined Substack! My first piece is about 4-year-old Sofia—a reminder of the real human lives impacted by decisions made under the Trump Admin. "Sofia's Story" is live. Give it a read and subscribe:

Let Me Tell You About Sofia

In recent weeks, the Trump Administration created a situation no family should ever have to face.

Every day we must reflect on the strength and resilience of those who paved the way and reaffirm our shared commitment to justice and equality.

How does this decision make any sense? We know that LGBTQ+ youth face higher suicide risks and unique challenges, yet the Trump Admin is ending specialized LGBTQ+ support on the national suicide hotline. This is not just senseless, but it unnecessarily puts lives in danger.

We cannot allow this to stand. Senate and House Dems will fight to protect Medicaid and defend the care millions rely on.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 17(source)

Medicaid is under attack for millions of Americans. House Republicans' plan was devastating - and now the Senate's goes even further. Millions of children, seniors, and people with disabilities could lose their care.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 17(source)

Our democracy depends on oversight and due process. We must continue fighting to protect it.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 17(source)

Comptroller Lander was simply standing up for due process by requesting a judicial warrant. Since Delaney Hall, the Trump Admin has continued to escalate their intimidation of elected officials, while engaging in a full-on spin campaign.

Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was arrested by ICE agents after he tried to steer a migrant out of the building to avoid his arrest. Lander was released several hours later on Tuesday afternoon. https://trib.al/lyVFPlP

AEDs can dramatically improve outcomes during a cardiac emergency. Honored to stand with the Katz family to celebrate the opening of a new SaveStation in Jersey City.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 16(source)

I urged HHS Secretary Kennedy to advance my legislation that will do just that.
